The effect of functional substitution on thermal stability of pyridinylporphyrins under argon atmosphere

The data on thermal stability under argon atmosphere of a series of porphyrin ligands containing meso- and β-positioned electron-donor (Me, Et, or Ph) groups as well as electron-acceptor pyridinyl substituents differing in the heteroatom location are presented. Thermogravimetric analysis and electron absorption spectroscopy studies have shown that pyridinylporphyrins are thermally stable at heating to 360–500°С depending on the functional substitution in the molecule.

cis-Pyridyl core-modified porphyrins for the synthesis of cationic water-soluble porphyrins and unsymmetrical non-covalent porphyrin arrays

Synthesis of a series of 21-thia and 21-oxoporphyrin building blocks containing two pyridyl functional groups at the meso positions in a cis fashion is reported. The building blocks were used to synthesize a series of cationic water-soluble 21-thia and 21-oxoporphyrins. An unsymmetrical non-covalent trimer containing two dissimilar porphyrin cores such as one N3S and two N4 porphyrins cores was also constructed using the pyridyl porphyrin building blocks reported here.
